When stress drives you to kidnap: RACK1A sequesters FSD1 into stress granules during salt stress academic.oup.com/plphys/article…

RACK1A interacts and colocalizes with FSD1 in stress granules to regulate salt stress response in Arabidopsis (Pavol Melicher , Petr Dvořák , Maryna Tsinyk , et al) doi.org/10.1093/plphys… @ASPB #PlantSci

New baby in our microscopy labs.

I am glad to share our new review article on Linking Superoxide Production and Scavenging in Plant Development published online in Plant, Cell & Environment onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/pc…

@TonniGrube Congrats Tonni and allthebest for your future lab in Zurich.

Six years ago, I started at the MPIPZ with a head full of ideas. What a journey. I’m thrilled to share that, from Jan 2026, I will be moving to Zurich as a chaired associate professor at the University of Zurich. A new chapter, and plenty of roots still to grow. Can’t wait!

@MedicagoCrew Congrats

@MedicagoCrew Congrats. 😃

With this review in Plant Physiology, we look at ABCG transporters, from in silico modeling and the recent advancements in the structural biology perspective. doi.org/10.1093/plphys… Image credit to Ola Bigos 😎

Protein and genetic interactions between RACK1A and FSD1 modulate plant development and stress granule-dependent response to salt in Arabidopsis. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Check out our latest preprint highlighting the RACK1A-dependent localization of FSD1 within stress granules. This may be the first study to demonstrate that antioxidants can be sequestered in these condensates. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

@HuckelhovenR @JRzemieniewski @StegmannMartin @NatureComms Congrats

"CEP signaling coordinates plant immunity with nitrogen status". A big Thank You to @JRzemieniewski and @StegmannMartin who led this exciting journey to a successful final version published now in @NatureComms and to all collaborators. Read it here: rdcu.be/d3I7M

Big congratulations to two very clever PhD students Pavol Melicher and Jiří Sojka for excellently finishing their studies 🥳🥳🥳with @TomasTakac @Samaj_lab

Very proud of my PhD student Dr. Jirko Sojka after excellent defense of his dissertation today.

@OfRegulators Congrats to nice paper.😀

Our new contribution to the puzzle of phytohormone metabolism.👏👍 Congratulations to the scientific team led by Ondrej Novak and Federica Brunoni. 🤝🌱🧪🧬

@mwrzaczek @BiologyCentre @MacasLab @kulich_ivan @iva_mozgova Your mentioned colleagues are surely proud of you. Congrats to your success in GACR, well deserved.

@Samaj_lab @BiologyCentre @MacasLab @kulich_ivan @iva_mozgova Thank you very much, and yes, I am also immensely grateful to GACR, but it feels weird congratulating myself ;-)

I am so proud of my colleagues at IPMB @BiologyCentre for attracting funding from GACR. Congratulations to Pavel Neumann from @MacasLab lab, @kulich_ivan and @iva_mozgova
